Any moment you spend attacking yourself is a moment away from your higher purpose and your power to love. Don't go there.

Whether you've seen angels floating around your bedroom or just found a ray of hope at a lonely moment, choosing to believe that something unseen is caring for you can be a life-shifting exercise.

Seek art from every time and place, in any form, to connect with those who really move you.

You get social pressure from your parents, who teach you to pay attention to certain things and not to others. You get it in school.

It seems to me at this moment that laughing is a serious thing, that it connects us with truth and love and God.

You are lovable. Can you show me any baby in any nursery who isn't priceless? No. There's no such thing as a worthless newborn. And the essential value that was born into brand-new-baby you can never be extinguished. This means that even if you think you're being absolutely honest, believing yourself to be anything other than astonishing, incomparable, and infinitely precious makes you a habitual liar.

If you find yourself getting nervous stop and relax for three full breaths. Then take one small step, then another. That is how people get to the top of Everest.
